Ariel had already killed numerous wolves by the time I properly focused on her side of the fight, their corpses littering the forest floor around her, some still burning even after death.
But what caught my attention wasn't just the number of dead wolves. It was the state of the environment itself.
I let out a light gasp while staring at the destruction surrounding her.
The trees nearby had been blackened and twisted apart violently, many of their trunks still smoking beneath the moonlight while ash drifted through the air like gray snow. The forest floor had been carved apart by spiraling scorch marks where flames had swept through the area, leaving behind shattered rock, burning roots, and patches of earth that still glowed faintly from the lingering heat.
The damage spread far wider than a normal fire attack should have caused.
My eyes narrowed slightly. She must've used [Azure Tornado].
I clicked my tongue regretfully.
